I am trying to run this test. First can it be run with nothing connected to the parallel port? If so this is what happens:
When I run halrun -I -f ptest.hal I get " Waiting for component 'PortTest' to become ready" a bunch of dots and than halcmd: I also get a new blank window called PortTest., eventually every thing seems to time out and I get back the normal prompt and the blank window closes.
This may wll be something that I am doing wrong due to my ignorance of Linux.
Any help wpould be appreciated
TIA
Tony.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately it did not help. The address in the Hal file is in fact the same as the port (onboard parallel port)
Is there anything that I need to do or set up BEFORE I run the test?
TIA
Tony
